ok, i have to make dinner. but the news right now is that 'cheap' glass can have up to 2% iron, which strikes me as easy, and magnesium content makes glass viscous, but hey, we're working in vacuum, so why would we care?
oh, i've been using the trick of a) putting them where they see only the ground, because there is an overhang, and there the radiation is really pretty low
and b) putting it between the beams of the atriums, where the beams block almost everything
hey, the beams i have over the atriums are really quite conservative. i think the nervous nellies will be happy
even the big windows in the sports habs aren't any big deal. it would be nice to put nice big swimming pools in front of certain parts, but one can also just say in the areas of them that don't see the sky.
what is it about e-reader programs? they frustrate me to desk-pounding degree regularly.
i have to try a dozen times to successfully open the menu in kindle, right now i literally spent 5 minutes trying to highlight one passage because it kept opening the menu instead, or turning the page on a very nice free epub reader - lithium
apparently it is thus named because i'm going to have to start taking lithium if i want to take notes on things without smashing my tablet into little pieces in rage.
It is a question about the precision of input methods. Touch has some disadvantages there. I saw something about introducing new media queries to make interfaces responsible for touch devices.
The equation balances nicely, but would the reaction tend to proceed this way? What temperature and time would be needed?
$\ce{Fe2SiO4 + 2H2 -> 2H2O + 2Fe + SiO2}$
There is no problem with supplying the energy to maintain a molten mix under the envisioned scenario, even up to pretty high temper...
Alright, after a few dead ends and a lot of thought, i think this is what it comes down to. If the reaction above is slow or inefficient, the idea that seemed so good yesterday is not going to work.
I was all enthusiastic because it is said it would work with ilmenite, but then it occurred to me that i don't know how much of the melt is actually expected to react, or how long it would need to be left to boil.
as discussed yesterday, unless all but one or two percent of the iron is removed, it isn't useful.
and cooling the glass isn't a big deal, but only if it is at least about 2/3 silica, and the glass book was actually no help in this regard
i have been quite frustrated with the answers that have come in on my related questions, to the point of not even mentioning them this time.
i need to look for a good service where i can pay for small amounts of consultation with an expert on a given topic. there used to be some services sort of like that.
